Starting again?

So I started MJ 16th June. From 16/6 to 22/8 (I’m a Brit so reverse those numbers if you’re an American), I lost 25lb. I was on 2.5 for the entirety of it. No side effects, felt great, constant losing. I was super happy. Then I decided to go up to 5. Biggest mistake of my life.

I was on that from 22/8 till 10/10. Awful side effects, I don’t think I went to the toilet much in that whole time, no matter what I drank, ate or did and my weigh, I only lost 3lb, in 8 weeks. Only thing that changed was the dose. And stupidly, because I believed it was the doses fault & because I’m clearly an idiot, I went up to 7.5. I was on that from 10/10 till 14/11 and in that time the side effects somehow got worse. I couldn’t eat because there was no space in my stomach, food no matter what it was felt like concrete. So I actually started eating less. I felt gross.

I also started running. From the 1st October until 22nd December I ran 3x a week. Long run 6 to 8 miles, speed run 2 miles, easy run 3 to 4 miles. Every week. And in that time I was on MJ I lost October to November I lost about 3lb.

So in total from June to December I lost 30lb. I started at 18st11. So I had/have more than enough to loose, it just stopped coming off easy when I went up to the higher doses. So 14th November I decided to give my body a break. I wasn’t popping, my abdomen always felt tender, I was bloated, feeling gross, I shouldn’t have been feeling as physically and mentally awful as I did, physically I was the fittest I’ve even been, but mentally I was a wreck because I was working my butt off for nothing. So I said enough because I could see how it was effecting me.

I’ve had 8 weeks off it now and my body is back to normal just about.

I’ve just had 3 weeks in Mexico, got home yesterday, scales said I’d gained 6lb but I suffer with heat Edema and I’ve eater a TON of salt and carbs, so I know that it’s mostly water weight as we walked a ton, I ran and I didn’t over eat plus it’s my TOTM.

But I’ve just ordered a 2.5mg MJ pen. I’m wanting to start again.

My question is: what should I expect. Will it be more of the same with the last 2.5. No side effects and easy weightloss? I really had the time of my life on 2.5 as everything just felt right. Throw into the mix that I’m now super active, I’m hoping I can get the remaining 30lb off and then hang up my MJ boots again.

Has anyone stopped their journey and restarted? Am I making a mistake? I’ve absolutely ZERO intention of using anything other than 2.5. I’m hoping that what happened for me in June can happen again and I can be at target weight by June for my birthday.

Any experience or advice on this would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
